Xenoblade’s Riki Will Be An Assist Trophy In Super Smash Bros., Too

Riki from Xenoblade Chronicles will appear both as part of Shulk’s Final Smash and as an Assist Trophy in the new Super Smash Bros., director Masahiro Sakurai said on Miiverse last night.

“As an Assist Trophy, he uses many arts like Happy Happy, Freezinate, and Yoink,” Sakurai wrote. “He sounds a bit like Tingle…but don’t worry, Tingle will make an appearance too.”

“By the way, a cursor will appear above Assist Trophies and Pokémon to indicate which fighter is its ally. Now you can tell right off the bat who it belongs to!!”
